Mwaba Mubemba, the band manager said his outfit is born out of charity and the passion for a reformed appreciati­on of God’s authority governed by faith.

“We trust and believe in the Lord and since inception we wanted to share the good news on true love sourced from a fountain of absolute faith and unwavering commitment towards true disciplesh­ip, in such times when people are slowly losing it to the desire of the world.

Dishearten­ed by the commercial­isation of gospel in the country, Mr. Mubemba said, the band is highly inspired to preach and minister to those who hardly find the chance to – be ushered into spiritual realms, due to circumstan­ces.

“It is our desire to help bring the message of salvation to ensure it reaches deserving people. Music provides a spiritual connection, and at the same time provides for us a ministerin­g platform.

“We found it liberal to reach out to communitie­s in need of Christ through a musical ministerin­g model because it provides entertaini­ng and edifies a people at the same time,” explained Mr. Mubemba.

“We are indebted help directed the nation to the cross, as a Christian nation we need to be an example to other countries.

“As Emmanuel & the Divine Worshipper­s we are dedicating our income and time as tithe to empower those that hunger for the word to benefit others,” said Mr. Mubemba.

The band is focusing its energies towards promoting its debut 10-track musical catalogue, titled Twaimba Hosana. The inspired collection is receiving fair air play on most local radio stations including Ama, Joy and Hone Fm.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel Mwanza, the band leader further said as Emmanuel & the Divine Worshipers, understand­s that music is a magnate that can draw people and bringing them together for a purpose.

“We strive to use our spiritual gift and appreciate God with as many people we can reach out to, for praise worship as a family.

“Music is like a magnate, it draws people together.

“That way, when we fellowship as men we are confident that God hears our prayer. And speaking from experience and people’s testimonie­s we have achieved what we intended to achieve,” Mr. Mwanza explained.

Emmanuel & the Divine Worshipper­s, is making waves on the music scene, it’s most astounding moment was when the band made a historical shadow launch of its sizzling album during the 2017/2018 cross over attracting more than 10 000 believers in its infancy for a praise and worship moment that was held at Bread of Life Church at Blessing Centre Complex in capital Lusaka, where they left the audience spell bound.
